LVC did a denim repro of a very similar top in 1999 (no pocket flap) and one out of duck in 2009 or 2010. You can find them in the LVC catalogs thread. |

I believe they were the series after that one that you name....I think these stamps change again in 1878 or 79 if I recall? Thanks Union Made |

My friend Viktor- sent me this picture out of a Boon magazine he just picked up. It lookes like a Levi #2 from 1891, only this one has a double needle yolk. I always wondered when that change happened...I was thinking 1892. Note that it still has a selvage waistband...Note no lot number or every garment guaranteed. I will get some better pictures sent to me in a few days....I need this magazine!

Btw Mike, I have theis magazine if you need any more pics/info. I also have the volume 4 (denim jackets one). If you want to buy one, they're usually £30ish from ebay - will look out for one if you like?

Will share these photos here since the thread does goes through the 60s. This jacket is in fantastic shape, and I would assume it's relatively new (looks 80s to me), except for the big E used on the label, so I'm guessing it's from the 60s. Denim is very Wrangler like in shade and feel, I assume it's sanforized. Tagged dry clean only, 42L. Gonna put it in the for sale section, because it will never fit me.

Very rad.
I've never seen a western blazer like that, always the panatela crap from the late 70s. |

Random ? maybe Sansome, PabloT or someone better versed than myself in Levis lore can answer for me:
My dad (who is no real expert) was telling me as a kid in Canada he could buy 'regular' Levis but also heavier weight 501's for winter. He said they were a few dollars more a pair or something, and weren't typically available year round but more towards late fall winter. All of that being said my dad has often used 'Levis' interchangably with 'Jeans' like one might with Coke or Kleenex. It could be that the local catalog merchant offered heavier weight jeans in the winter than they did in the summer, but my dad saying 'Levis' made me curious if the 501 has ever been marketed in multiple weights of denim like he is claiming they potentially were? |
